RECOMMENDED
SOLDERING PROFILES
• A mildly activated rosin flux 'RMA' is
recommended.
• Sn60 (60% Sn, 40% Pb) or Sn62 (62.5% Sn,
36.1% Pb, 1.4% Ag) are recommended.
• Sizes 2225 and larger should be re-flow or
vapor phase soldered. Wave solder is not
recommended on these larger sizes.
• Tape and reel packaging is
preferred and is available for all sizes.
• To specify 7" reel use "T" in part
number code.
• For 13" reel use "R" in part number
code.
• Parts are packaged per EIA-RS481
specification.
• For tape size and approximate
quantity per reel consult factory.
POST ASSEMBLY
COOLDOWN AND
CLEANING
• Allow assembly to cool to room temperature.
Do not attempt to speed up cooldown cycle as
thermal cracking may result.
• Cleaning solvents are dependant on materials
and flux type used. Multi-stage cleaning in
alcohol, water, hydrocarbons, and common
degreaser solvents will not damage our chip
capacitors.
SOLDERING TECHNIQUES
The reflow, vapor phase, and wave soldering
profiles shown are recommended. Hand
soldering is not preferred but can be
accomplished successfully if the following
precautions are followed:
• Use a low wattage iron with correct size tip.
• A preheat of 150°C minimum is
recommended.
• Do not exceed 280°C maximum.
• Apply heat thru the solder. Minimize the
contact to termination metalization.
• Keep the soldering process as short as
possible.
